Fans of the long-running reality TV staple I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! have been glued to their screens as the 2025 series unfolds in the wilds of the Australian rainforest. The season, already brimming with drama and camaraderie, took a fresh twist this week as two late arrivals—Vogue Williams and Tom Read Wilson—made their highly anticipated debuts, injecting new energy and stories into the camp.
According to Heart, the news broke on November 19, 2025, that model, presenter, DJ, and podcaster Vogue Williams, 40, and actor-singer Tom Read Wilson, 39, would be joining the show as late entries. Their arrival was set to shake up a camp that already featured a colorful cast, including rapper Aitch, comic Ruby Wax, and former Spandau Ballet bassist Martin Kemp. The program, which airs nightly at 9pm on ITV and ITVX, has kept viewers on their toes with a mix of daring Bushtucker Trials, fireside confessions, and the ever-present tension of jungle life.
Vogue Williams, well-known for her hit podcast My Therapist Ghosted Me and a string of reality TV appearances, is no stranger to the limelight. Married to former Made In Chelsea star and past I’m A Celebrity campmate Spencer Matthews, Vogue has three young children—Theodore, six, Gigi, four, and Otto, three. Despite her glamorous lifestyle, Vogue admitted to ITV that the jungle would present a unique set of challenges, particularly being away from her family during the festive season. “I am scared of everything, but I think what I am going to struggle with the most is missing my children,” she confessed. “I’m very worried about missing the kids, as I have never been away this long before and I spend such a huge amount of time with them. It will be my biggest struggle.”
Her decision to take on the challenge was not made lightly. Vogue explained that turning 40 inspired her to step out of her comfort zone. “I always thought I wouldn’t do it, because I’ve gotten too comfortable in my life. I like to have eight hours of sleep, I like to eat nice things, I like to just chill out and I never put myself out of my comfort zone. Then when I turned 40, I started to get scared of ridiculous things. I didn’t want to be this person. Doing this is such a massive life experience and it is not something you can pay to do. So now I am 40, I think it will be pretty cool to do I’m A Celebrity,” she told ITV, as reported by the Evening Standard.
Vogue’s past TV adventures include Bear Grylls: Mission Survive, Channel 4’s The Jump, and a memorable jive on the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special. Yet, she acknowledged that this latest challenge would be tougher. “I think this is going to be harder because when I did that, I had no responsibilities. I had nobody at home. I was braver back then too… I am scared of everything, but I think what I am going to struggle with the most is missing my children,” she reiterated to Manchester Evening News. Fortunately, Vogue shared that her husband Spencer and their extended Irish family are rallying to support her, especially with childcare duties while she braves the jungle.
Tom Read Wilson, meanwhile, brings his own brand of charm and wit to the camp. Known for his role as the eloquent receptionist on Celebs Go Dating and his podcast exploring the quirks of language, Tom is also a former contestant on The Voice UK. He admitted to feeling both excited and terrified about the adventure. “My first thought when they approached me about taking part was abject terror. But I have got a very strict rule in life. If the only reason that you don’t want to do it is fear, you must do it, whatever it is,” Tom told the Evening Standard. He added, “I’m fearful as a porcupine and I am very nervous that my grey cells won’t dance properly in camp, too. At home, I do a cryptic crossword every day, I always have a book on the go and I am a bit worried that my frontal lobes will drop off if I don’t have a lubricant for it. I can be vague at times and I don’t want to scatter brain cells over the camp.”
Tom’s trepidation was matched by a desire to show viewers a different side of himself. “I’m frightened of everything, I am a very nervous person,” he admitted, as quoted by Metro. Yet, he hopes to prove that there’s an adventurous spirit lurking beneath his nervous exterior. “For instance, I have climbed a mountain and abseiled down a rock before. I’d like to show this side of me as it doesn’t come up very often.” Tom also expressed excitement about meeting his fellow campmates and the show’s legendary presenters, Ant and Dec. “I have been fans of them since I was a grasshopper… I am always following their careers with avidity. I love them,” he shared.
Their dramatic arrival was teased during the November 19 episode and culminated in a grand entrance on November 20, as reported by both Metro and Heart. Their addition brings the total number of campmates to twelve, raising the stakes for the show’s notorious Bushtucker Trials, where celebrities compete for stars (and, by extension, meals) for their hungry teammates. The latest episode also featured Eddie Kadi tackling a grueling underwater trial, securing six stars, and a heartfelt conversation between Lisa Riley and Jack Osbourne about sobriety—just a taste of the emotional highs and lows that define the series.
Vogue Williams, for her part, is ready to roll up her sleeves and chip in around camp. “I enjoy cleaning, organising, and having chats with people,” she said. “I’m not like MasterChef [standard], but I can certainly cook too.” She also admitted to ITV that she’s not looking forward to the infamous insect-filled trials, especially the prospect of being stuck in a coffin. Still, she’s determined to make the most of the experience, even joking about causing “a bit of mischief, a bit like Traitors vibes.”
As for Tom, he’s eager to bond with wordsmiths like Aitch, whom he described as “fascinating.” “I know that he is very bendy with words, which I adore. I love new coinings. It is the reason I am mad about Shakespeare, is all the endless coinings and the sense of play with lexicon. And he has got that in spades. I know he has. And I also really think of rap as modern poetry. I wish I could do it,” Tom told The Mirror.
With their late arrival, Vogue Williams and Tom Read Wilson bring new stories, fears, and ambitions to an already lively camp. Their willingness to face their anxieties and embrace the unknown, all under the watchful eye of millions, speaks to the enduring appeal of I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!—a show where personal growth and public spectacle go hand in hand.
As the jungle adventure continues, all eyes will be on how Vogue and Tom adapt, connect, and compete alongside their fellow celebrities, with their journey unfolding nightly on ITV and its streaming platforms.
